Vigorous, Hymenocallis littoralis (Beach Spider Lily) is a tender bulbous perennial boasting showy umbels of 4-6 large, vanilla-scented, pure white flowers from mid-summer to late fall.

Adding flare to borders and containers, Beach Spider Lily is also perfect for coastal sites. Plant in drifts for a striking effect.
